In-Game: [HTML5] part_particles_burst() results in a page error

[aidinzolghadr]

Description

Particles work fine in Windows build but show a black screen on HTML5.

Here is my code:

Create: particle_system = part_system_create_layer("Effects", false);

Step:

var _part = particle_get_type(ScoreParticleSystem);
part_particles_burst(particle_system, obj_score_text.x, obj_score_text.y + 10, _part);

Googling tells me it was a problem that fixed 2 years ago.

I "Clean"-ed the project and also "use built-in particle system" is checked in its build settings, as the default is.

Here is the Firefox's Console error:

Uncaught ReferenceError: _1y is not defined

Sample Project Added?

• [X] I have included a small sample project

[jackerley]

Thanks for reporting this issue, but in order to investigate we will need a small project which shows this issue. Please report this issue again, but ensure you have a suitable project open at the time and you have checked the “Include Project” option on the bug form. Please don't submit an .exe for the project, please submit a .yyz of your project

[aidinzolghadr]

Hi,

thanks for the reply. I did upload the project report created by game maker and linked it above as I could not find how to upload directly to GitHub, if that is what intended.

Cheers.

When reporting your bug from the IDE please tick the Privately attach project which will upload your project with your bug report in such a way that only our staff can download it. megaup that you have used to upload the zip to requires it downloading as an .exe which I can't do for IT security reasons.

[aidinzolghadr]

1) There is no tick, it asks if you want to include the project and I said yes. 2) The file I uploaded does not have an .exe but has .yyz and is what GameMaker generated via Help->Create Your Contact Us Package.

[jackerley]

When I go to download the zip file from megaup.net I can only download it as an .exe which I am not prepared to do. You have not uploaded your project when you submitted the bug, otherwise it would be attached to the issue and not be using megaup.net. You will need to resubmit from the IDE or upload your project to somewhere that doesn't re-package your upload.

[aidinzolghadr]

I think you probably clicked on an ad or something. I uploaded to a couple more places so at least hopefully one of them would work. If not please tell me where do you want me to upload it:

[jackerley]

Thanks I have your project and a fix now.

[aidinzolghadr]

Great job! Let me know if you wanted me to test or something.

[Emc1923]

Verified fixed, closing.

[aidinzolghadr]

Great, which release will have it?

[jackerley]

It is fixed in the current June Beta

[aidinzolghadr]

I still have the same issue. I got the latest beta version, unchecked Obfuscation in HTML5, got the HMTL5 runtime and assigned it and when it wants to run the particle browser's console says:

Unhandled Exception - TypeError: particleType is undefined in file http://127.0.0.1:51264/scripts/functions/Function_Particles.js at line 172

and here is the browser's debugger: https://pastebin.com/cWXwJftL

BTW I'm using Firefox.

I wanted to use "Report a Bug" from help menu but it's grayed out. I used Contact Us to generate a zip file beforehand as well.

[YYDan]

Yeah, I still get an error with this project also, so reopening. Beta IDE v2024.600.0.579 Beta Runtime v2024.600.0.605

Also fixed the sample link in the actual bug report and accordingly hid your later comment with a variety of other download sources, as they're no longer required. (You can stop sharing all of them if you want.)

Obfuscation ON:

Obfuscation OFF:

verified as of IDE v2024.600.0.580 Runtime v2024.600.0.607
